Dell laptops used to be the ones the school district that I work for went with but recently HP has given us better prices and better products and so when we ordered new laptops for the district we went with the HP Pavilion dv6000t battery. It's a nice laptop with great design features, decent processor performance, two headphone jacks and a built in webcam. All of these factors and the price that HP gave us on a bulk buy of these laptops helped us choose this HP.

The HP Pavilion line of laptops are pretty similar, all have a nice sleek design with a shiny finish. It's not just a good looking laptop though it also has solid entertainment features and high-end components for a decent price. This laptop isn't going to set any records in performance but the features make it a good buy. This laptop is great for anyone who wants to use their laptop for multimedia entertainment and doesn't mind a battery that isn't going to last forever. It works perfect for all of your basic needs and all of your audio visual desires

Our review machine was well stocked for the price, coming with Wi-Fi and optional Bluetooth wireless communications, a top-of-the-line 120GB 5400-rpm hard drive, an integrated 1.3-megapixel Webcam, and a SuperMulti DVDRW/R drive with LightScribe for laser-etching your own monochromatic disc labels dell latitude d830 battery. Also included were a 256MB nVidia GeForce Go 7400 graphics card and Microsoft Works 8. The port selection--three USB ports, a FireWire port, and a three-in-one media slot--is modest but should satisfy most home users.

The HP Pavilion dv6000t is a full-featured multimedia notebook with a highly appealing look. Like all notebook computers, it is an exercise in compromise. What sets it apart from other machines, however, and goes a long way to explaining its popularity, is its impressive blend of looks, performance, comfort and price. At current prices, the dv6000t offers a fine mix of components and performance in the $800 to $1200 range. On top of that, it looks good and provides an exceedingly comfortable computing experience. I know that I, for one, would not have used it nearly as much as I did if it hadn’t given me excellent performance and first-rate comfort during our two weeks together. As I said at the outset, I really did look for something wrong with the pavilion dv6000t battery, but in the end I came up with only three “cons.” Of these, one, the screen resolution, is really a matter of personal preference and won’t make any difference unless a high-resolution LCD is desired; another, the issue of fingerprints, is rather trivial and may actually inspire the owner to keep the notebook nice and clean; and the third problem may be the rather short battery life.
